Official: Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal bags La Liga award | OneFootball

A leading member of the attacking ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has on Tuesday secured for himself a piece of individual silverware.

The player in question? Lamine Yamal.

Wide-man Lamine, for his part, is fresh off a stellar opening to the new campaign.

Across starts in all four of Barcelona’s La Liga fixtures, the 17-year-old dazzled down the right flank, lighting up the pitch courtesy of a near-unique combination of touch, pace, dribbling and, crucially, final ball.

The latter of these traits has given rise to a solitary goal, alongside a league-leading four assists for Lamine.

With such exploits having proven central to Barca’s charge to the top of the Spanish top-flight table, it should in turn come as little surprise to hear of the Euro 2024 winner, on Tuesday, been rewarded.

As per a statement across the division’s official social media platforms, Lamine has been named the La Liga U23 Player of the Month for August:
